Hello

Im not sure this is the right place to ask, but here goes. I have been using xbian on my raspberry pi 3 for a while. I was about to start using a remote control app on my android (Yatse or Kore), where I noticed that all that traffic was over HTTP and there is not a option to choose HTTPS.

Im quite sure that a lot of people has asked this before, but I cant seem to find a proper guide for it: but is it possible somehow to setup an environment so that all the traffic from/to Kodi is over HTTPS (including the remote control apps)? Im not talking about VPNs.

Is there a clean/simple solution or a more hacky one?

thanks in advance

Do you really need https within your own LAN? For remote control traffic?  It makes more sense to secure the LAN.

but in ordet to allow remote control, I have to enable webinterface, which only rund over HTTP right? So it will not only be my own LAN?

kodi v18 supports TLS/SSL for the webserver, albeit rather rudimentary. See https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/13165

 Kodi's web server does use HTTP, but it is still only accessible on your LAN.  Unless you have specifically opened it up to the internet.  In order to access it from the internet you'd have to enable port forwarding to Kodi on your home router.  Which would be a stupid thing to do.

Ahh I get the point now.. As long I don't open the port and my LAN is secure I'll be alright... thanks

But cool that the support for https is coming for the webserver
